Keep in mind
- Sterilizing your cat is good for its welfare: less abandonment (because there are no unwanted litters), less risk of mammary tumors, less fighting.
- Sterilization helps maintain biodiversity, as cats are predators of many species.
- Sterilization does not reduce your pet's growth or change its character. On the other hand, it's best to have it done early.
